hei,

how can i achieve the following: see swf-file

the grey rectangle should start fading in when i reach the red square (hit area), not already when you cross the edges of the grey square… this seems to be a easy one - if one knows (sofar about the status of my flash-knowledge!)

the “button” is a movieclip.

see also pdf:  
first layer has the button-coding (see below)  
second + third layer contain the motion-tweened rectangle/square.

thanks for helping :te:

coding in the first layer:

stop();

this.onEnterFrame = function(){  
if(rewind == true){  
prevFrame();  
}  
}

this.onRollOver = function(){  
rewind = false;  
play();  
}

this.onRollOut = function(){  
rewind = true;  
}

this.onRelease = function(){  
\_root.gotoAndPlay(34);  
}
